it is like trump's team ALMOST understand what is happening here and why it is happening.

How long before Israel violates any negotiated terms? Don’t hold your breath but Bibi The Butcher is not an honest broker of a peace deal.Members of Trump’s team have ‘had it with Netanyahu’s antics’
William Lawrence, a Middle East analyst and professor at American University, says Trump has people around him that want his Gaza plan to go through “against the wishes of Israel” and the pro-Israel lobby in the US.
“People have figured out that it’s not about finishing the job [for Israel], it’s about perpetual war, perpetual occupation,” Lawrence explained.
“There is a sense now that there’s a certain thinking for Trump and a certain number of advisers around Trump who have kind of had it with Netanyahu’s antics,” he said.
“So if this thing turns for the better now, it’ll be because Hamas is calling everyone’s bluff and Trump is also calling Netanyahu’s bluff.”
As we’ve been reporting, experts have long said that Netanyahu has sabotaged efforts to reach a lasting ceasefire in Gaza for political reasons.
Yes or no . Anyone feel free to answer.

You mean the cease fire where Israel continues bombing Gaza? Cease fires are only for one side, not for Bibi The Butcher and his genocide.

Kinda? It would be called Newest Mexico and be the 51st state. We would take all the food recipes and tequila...build big beautiful (the most beautiful) resorts on the beaches (by build I mean rebrand them all to Trump resorts)....and then deport all the people with no $ back to some other country in Latin or South America that we can say they came from.Go Beavers said:

trump must have strongarmed bibi so he can get that peace prize.

Trump was willing to talk to Hamas to try to attain peace. That's something in our lifetimes that no American president was willing to do. He honestly wants peace and for that he should be complimented.gimmesometruth27 said:trump must have strongarmed bibi so he can get that peace prize.
